Overview
- Kickoff is 20:00 at Estadio Charrúa in Montevideo, with Gonzalo de Achával appointed as referee.
- Tarucas confirmed an almost unchanged squad, starting Tomás Dande for Facundo Cardozo and Estanislao Pregot for Matías Sauze.
- The visitors arrive off a 41-13 win over Selknam that put four Tarucas players in the competition’s Round 1 XV.
- Peñarol opened with a 34-7 defeat to Capibaras and have targeted improvements in the scrum and lineout after those struggles.
- Home advantage on the synthetic surface could matter, with Peñarol winning nearly 80% of home matches since 2020, though Tarucas won in Montevideo last season.
